just realized my phone doesn't display some braille characters correctly. the dot pattern [⠸] is supposed to be the right three dots, but on my phone it looks the same as [⠇] with the left three dots. that's a really weird problem and I don't know how they messed that up
how am I supposed to tell the difference between ⠝⠥⠅⠑ (nuke) and ⠝⠥⠨⠑ (nuance) if [⠅] and [⠨] display the same way? pretty big oversight there
here's what it looks like on a device that displays braille properly btw, for reference
after looking into it, the reason this bug exists on android is that, one, when braille was added into Noto Sans they just did it wrong at first, and two, even though this issue was fixed in Noto Sans back in 2017, the android system font Droid Serif, bafflingly, hasn't been properly updated in ages despite the decade of work the Noto team have been doing improving these fonts. like different departments at google just aren't telling each other what they're up to. so that's why braille text is broken on android
